"IN the oil and gas industry, where public scrutiny and environmental regulations are intensifying, impactful sustainability initiatives are increasingly becoming critical to longterm success.

Operators face growing pressure from investors and stakeholders alike to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, minimise waste, and preserve natural resources.

Every link in the supply chain contributes to the oil and gas sector's environmental footprint, from the energy-intensive processes of steel production to the logistics of transporting materials and maintaining infrastructure.

For technology companies, this means prioritising low-emission materials and optimising production processes to ensure they are still seen as preferred suppliers.

For service providers, it means developing solutions that extend the life of existing infrastructure, reducing the need for costly and resource-intensive replacements.

Together, these efforts can lead to significant cost savings, operational efficiencies, and enhanced reputational value.

In a pioneering pilot project, Terravera Foundation, a leading partner in third-party documentation of sustainability data, has demonstrated that it is possible to deliver both environmental and commercial gains in the oil and gas service sector.

This project proved this was possible by making strategic changes to the production process.

This industry-first project was undertaken in partnership with Norclamp, a specialist in standardised clamps, and Climate Advisor.

Norclamp's sustainability initiatives show how businesses can turn this challenge into an advantage, finding opportunities to save money and enhance operations while reducing emissions.

Norclamp's real breakthrough lies in how the company transformed its production processcutting emissions and costs by rethinking how they source materials and manage resources.
